CREATE THE STORIES
YOU WANT TO TELL

Since 2005 we have been helping to create new narratives, rich with artistic and cultural diversity. At it’s core, YOCA’s mission is to enrich, develop and bring together communities, companies and individuals, using theatre, performance and story-telling as an accessible platform. We believe everyone has a story to tell.

This year we grew our vision to include everybody. We’ve changed our name, grown up a little bit, and launched a new site. Fio intends to take all of the great things that YOCA has achieved, and help even more people tell their stories. Visit www.wearefio.co.uk and start your story with us.

WHAT WE OFFER

We achieve this by providing training, artistic opportunities and access to industry professionals, through a variety of ongoing programmes and projects. We want our participants to explore the creative arts as a tool to empower, and enhance their lives, and others around them, and give opportunities to those who may not have access to such resources.

Organisations who support our work include:

National Theatre Wales

BBC

Wales Millennium Centre

As well as various charities, local authorities and commercial businesses.

THE WAY WE WORK

YOCA delivers work across three core strands: Projects, Productions and People.

Offers a very real opportunity for individuals to create and change their personal narrative. We look to engage with young people and individuals on the fringes of society using the art of telling stories through theatre, performance and other platforms and help open the door to interesting new chapters in their lives.

Is still very early in it’s conception. It will support individuals who want to take their training and experience at YOCA, or elsewhere to the next level. It will exist as a creative agency, providing a stepping stone for those wanting to work in the industry as creative professionals.
